mid-air and all fell short of reaching the
dead man, but finally he was got down on
the Hayes extension and carried into a
neighboring drug store. He had been dead
some time, and through his body during the
time he hung there had passed the electric
current Of the entire Brush system, which
had made his limbs move as if convulsively.
Thus perished Lineman Hiram Corliss. No
body knows how long he had hung in the
wires when discovered. An immense crowd
gathered to watch the efforts to secure tho
body, an operation attended with great
danger because the electric current was still
